In quarantine with kids
1# The talker
We’ve been in quarantine for 18 days and my 9yo has been talking nonstop for 20 of them.

2# Distancing
Don’t underestimate a child's ability to grasp what's happening right now. I've discussed the pandemic and social distancing with my 4-year-old and she's decided to speak 3 inches from my face instead of the normal 1 inch.

3# Hunger
4-year-old: Dad?
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) April 5, 2020
Me: Yeah?
4: I bet you taste like macaroni.
So we're to that part of the quarantine.

4# PJ days
When it’s bedtime and you go to put your kid in pyjamas but realise you never got them dressed in the first place

5# Knock knock knock
You know, I can handle a quarantine. I can handle rationing food. I can even handle having to relearn elementary math. But did this really have to be the week that my 4 year old learned to tell knock knock jokes?

6# 6-month-old backpack contents
I don’t know who needs to hear this but unpack your kid’s backpacks and lunch boxes now or risk a nasty surprise when schools start to open back up again.

7# What are we doing?
What I’m doing can’t be called homeschooling. I’m fumbling with websites and school emails while my six year old runs half dressed through the house eating his fourth piece of “be quiet” toast.

8# Food shortage
Me to my kids: you have to eat right and get good sleep if you want to stay healthy.

Also me: *shouting at 5am* WHO THE HELL ATE MY BREAKFAST PRINGLES??

9# Throwback (with internet)
So we don’t go to restaurants, kids aren’t signed up for anything, and we are just staying home during spring break? Sounds like my childhood.

10# Quarantine events
13: My English teacher wants us to write in a journal every day
— Marly (@VerbsRProudest) April 6, 2020
Me: What have you written so far?
13: “I don’t want to write a journal, & I don’t like Quarantine Chicken Surprise.”
M: Good opener.

11# Attention seekers
My kids have been so needy during quarantine lately. Always wanting me to color with them and give them things like food and water.

Wife: get a babysitter.
